I'm really tossing up between getting a short shaft or a long shaft pump. I just can't make up my mind, please give me some advice. I don't know whether to lash out and pay the extra $10.

That ones for you Andy.

big pump 4 sure-less pumping more time on water + less back ache
(dont point out its the same effort)
RRD have a good pump, most other brands try get them as small as possible as it would appear although i dont really look. my new kite has a small pump and i was jealous.

Pump envy can lead to dissatisfaction with your own equipment!

Good winds,

You can't beat the slingshot electric pump - by the times you've rolled out your lines, your kite is pumped up.

It's the ideal lazy man's accessory

kind of off topic, but can you get something like a set pressure blow off valve.

You know, so that you can set the desired pressure and not pump past that, any excess pressure just blowing off.
might stop over pumping LE bladders.
